Chapter 233: Punishment
[Ran^ζ^Library][]. []. In front of the courtyard of the mansion, Lin Ning took a breath, spit out again, straightened his clothes, and walked up: "Disciple Lin Ning, come and see the first seat." γFor more exciting visitsγ"
"Come in." With a sound floating in the courtyard, I saw a circle of ripples in front of the low wooden door.
Lin Ning only felt that his eyes were slightly bright, but when he opened his eyes, he completely changed the world.
A huge banyan tree shading the sun and avoiding the shade, standing in the courtyard, as if it has become a realm of its own, so magnificent!
It was already night, but the courtyard was shining, and when I looked at it vaguely, I saw countless bright treasures hanging on the banyan tree, which really had a different meaning.
A stone table and stone bench were installed under the banyan tree, and a pot of tea was placed on it, and from a distance, Lin Ning smelled the fragrance and tranquility.
Nangong Wen Jian was sitting on the stone bench, not looking at anyone, just fiddling with a game of black and white chess.
"Lin Ning, do you know why I summoned you here at this moment?" He took one of them, looked at the chessboard intently, hesitated to fall, and then came out coldly.
Lin Ning saw that his expression was serene, and he didn't look angry, so he also relaxed his heart a little, and said, "The disciple is stupid, and he doesn't know the first mastermind. β
"Stupid?" Nangong Wen Jian's hand was about to fall, when it suddenly hung in the air, stopped, and he sneered, "You are not stupid, you are the most cunning one of the disciples I have ever met, in fact, you know very well the reason why I came to you." β
When Lin Ning heard this, his face changed slightly, but he immediately calmed down, "The first wisdom is like a torch, how dare the disciple be deceived by you?" β
"Alright." Nangong Wen Jian frowned slightly and waved his hand, "There is no one else here, don't say polite words." β
"Say, how can you break six black bamboos?"
His slightly narrowed gaze stared at Lin Ning, not deflecting half a point, but letting Lin Ning see that there seemed to be tens of thousands of blades hidden in his eyes, which made people shudder.
"Ahem...... ahem" Lin Ning laughed dryly, knowing that paper can't contain the fire after all, and this matter will be exposed sooner or later, not to mention that the other party's cultivation is far higher than his own, so there is no need to hide it.
It's better to open the skylight and say something bright, and spread out the matter, it may not be a bad thing for himself, he said: "Since the first one asked, I had no choice but to answer, the six black bamboos were not cut by me, but I used internal force to inject spiritual energy into the black bamboo and shatter it." β
"Internal forces?" Nangong Wen Jian groped his chin, "Do you know secular martial arts?" β
"When I didn't attain the Tao and ascended to immortality, I learned a few points in the world, but it was difficult to become a big form, and I couldn't get on the stage." Lin Ning stared at the other party's eyes and always maintained a respectful attitude.
Nangong Wen Jian got up and paced left and right around the stone table: "Opportunistic, no matter what, you are much better than Lian'er." β
Lin Ning was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, and then asked, "Senior Sister Lian'er, ...... she?"
Nangong Wen Jian took a few steps and smiled again, but this smile showed a little joy, "Originally, I was not very optimistic about the three of you in this practice, the three of you are all about tenfold, especially Li Mingheng is only ninefold, according to the rules of the sect, it should be that you break through to more than eleven levels one by one before you go to cut down the black bamboo to practice, so even if the three of you keep cutting one by one, I expect it to care, and I won't be angry because of it." β
At this time, his face suddenly became gloomy again, "Don't think that the three of you can hide from the world by what you each do, let me ask you, Lian'er's three black bamboos are not her own hands at all, right?" β
A seat, even if it was Lin Ning, he could hear it in a cold sweat, in the end, it was the first seat of a sect, how could his experience be compared to his own people?
I'm afraid that Nangong Lian's practice is cheating, he has already seen through it, but he has never clearly exposed her.
Lin Ning sighed and shook his head, "Shouza, you know this matter better than me, why do you need to come to embarrass the disciple." β
Nangong Wen Jian stared at him with burning eyes, and didn't speak for a long time, but he turned around and sighed, raised his head to look at the sky and said: "The three of you, starting tomorrow, will continue to cut down the black bamboo until the three of you have broken through to the eleventh level of cultivation, this is a punishment for the three of you, go ahead." β
Lin Ning opened his mouth, nodded yes, and left.
"Wait." As soon as he walked to the door, there was a sound from Nangong Wen Jian behind him, and he saw a white porcelain bottle thrown from the air, and said lightly: "Two internal injury pills, red and blue, red inside and blue outside, take them back, let him not pretend to be dead for me then." β
Lin Ning looked at the medicine bottle and smiled, "The disciple obeys." β
"In addition, tomorrow I will go to your senior brother Lei Zhao and ask him to teach you some spells, which will be very useful in the future, okay, go ahead, Hugh will come back to bother me."
As he spoke, his figure gradually changed and blurred, and when the last word fell, the whole person had disappeared in place.
Lin Ning bowed generously, then turned around and walked out of the courtyard, breaking the ban and coming out, only to see that the heavy snow had stopped.
He stepped on the snow, holding the medicine bottle in his hand, but his mood was extremely complicated, and when he suddenly remembered this place, he saw the inexplicable black gas in the courtyard from afar.
caused his ten thousand arrays of jade pendants to move, and he was even more uneasy.
I returned to the door of my house with a worried heart, and when I entered the house, I found that Li Mingheng had fallen asleep, and everything was normal in the courtyard room, and there was no black gas that I had just seen.
Lin Ning put the medicine bottle given by Nangong Wen Jian on the table, and was about to retreat quietly, but I don't know when Li Mingheng had woken up.
"Lin Ning? What are you doing? Li Mingheng reluctantly sat up, he subconsciously touched his injured chest, and found that it was no longer painful, but his whole body was weak and weak.
Lin Ning saw that he was awake, so he also lit the oil lamp, "This is the first pill that I asked me to entrust to you to heal." β
"The first seat, Nangong ......" he was surprised, looking at the white porcelain vase on the table, as if he couldn't believe it, "Is this true?" β
"It's true!"
Li Mingheng swallowed, as if he was dreaming, and when his trembling hand touched the slightly cold medicine bottle, his eyes were already half red.
Lin Ning sighed and asked, "Are you better?" β
"I'm much better, thank you." Li Mingheng lowered his head, raised his head suddenly, and asked with a hint of expectation: "He doesn't blame me for the first seat?" β
"If he blames you, he won't use the pill to save you, it can be seen that he teaches you a lesson during the day, and he is also a little guilty, you must not be resentful." Lin Ning's calm face showed a little pity.
Li Mingheng's heart chuckled, and then he shook his head, "How dare I resent him?" I can only blame me for being too stupid and failing to complete the task, which made him angry. β
"Don't think about it too much, there are two of them, red inside and blue outside, after you take the pill tonight, take good rest, and from tomorrow we can really start cultivating."
"What practice?" Li Mingheng immediately became nervous.
Lin Ning smiled and said: "It's better to say it's a practice, it's better to say it's a punishment, the first one wants the three of us to cut the black bamboo from tomorrow until we all break through the eleventh level." β
"Okay, it's not early, you should rest early, and take your leave." Seeing that he was silent alone, Lin Ning got up and put out the lights, closed the door and returned to his room.
The moment he turned around, he suddenly felt movement in the house, and suddenly the lights on the ground suddenly turned on, and there was a person standing in the room, which surprised him a lot......
